Chapter 607: Chapter 606: Read the Notebook Again? After All, It’s a Thrill.

"The Misfortune Balance Theory?"

Su Qi was puzzled. "Senior Sister, why is your theory so peculiar?"

Jingyue said, "Well, your condition is peculiar, isn’t it? My theories have to keep up with the times."

’That’s true,’ Su Qi thought. A situation like hers was rare enough. It was even rarer for there to be a theory about it.

It made sense that her Senior Sister would have to base the theory on her specific condition.

Su Qi asked, "So, what is the Misfortune Balance Theory?"

Jingyue said, "First, the Misfortune Coin as we know it isn’t actually that powerful. At most, it can only cause minor misfortune.

Like buying instant noodles and finding no seasoning packet."

Su Qi nodded. That’s how it was at the beginning—or she would just trip and fall. But things had been abnormal recently.

Celestial Tribulations, meteorites... she wouldn’t believe it if someone told her they had nothing to do with her.

But the thought that they *were* related to her was terrifying.

Jingyue said, "So, this is where the balance point comes in."

Su Qi asked, "What balance point?"

At this moment, the other Candidacy Saintesses also opened one eye and glanced toward Jingyue.

They wanted to hear about this Misfortune Balance Theory, too.

Jingyue said, "It’s not fatal."

Su Qi frowned. "I don’t understand."

The other Candidacy Saintesses didn’t understand either.

Jingyue explained, "First, your husband has good luck. Because of the misfortune, his luck is transferred to you.

Second, the Misfortune Coin exists, and its nature is to bring misfortune."

The others remained silent, listening to Jingyue continue.

"It’s hard to say if luck can be depleted, but we can conclude one thing: for the misfortune to maintain its nature as misfortune, it has to contend with your husband’s luck. They have to be at least evenly matched.

Only then can the effects of the misfortune be apparent."

Qing Lian said, "But Senior Sister Su Qi is fine under normal circumstances."

Jingyue said, "That’s where the Misfortune Balance Theory comes in. The misfortune exists, and it has to make its presence felt.

For example, a little grump like you, blessed with so much luck, should be incredibly fortunate. But because of the Misfortune Coin, you’re just... ordinary.

This shows that the Misfortune Coin is having an effect.

The balance point is stable."

Su Qi said, "So, does that mean I should be fine all the time? Then why does the misfortune erupt when I get my period?"

Jingyue said, "Because of an imbalance. The arrival of your period shatters the original balance point. Luck and misfortune are no longer suppressing each other.

At this time, luck and misfortune coexist. And seeing blood might instinctively add a bit of weight to the misfortune, allowing it to take the lead.

But the luck is still there.

So it’s like going back to the beginning, buying instant noodles without a seasoning packet.

But the misfortune is no longer minor, and the luck has also become immense.

When fortune and misfortune coexist without suppressing each other, anything is possible.

Celestial Tribulations may fall and meteorites may descend, but no matter what, you will always emerge from danger unscathed.

And when the time comes, you two will carry out the ’Dual Cultivation Luck Consolidation Theory’ in practice, and the balance can be maintained once again.

This is my Misfortune Balance Theory."

Then Jingyue added, "Oh, right. The reason you couldn’t absorb Immortal Spiritual Qi smoothly at first was also because of the misfortune. If nothing unlucky was happening, it still had to make its presence felt somehow.

Now that the misfortune is suppressed, everything is back to normal."

Su Qi and the others were left dumbfounded by Jingyue’s explanation.

It all sounded so convincing.

Finally, Su Qi asked, "Senior Sister, do you have any proof?"

Jingyue replied bluntly, "Nope. I just made it all up."

Everyone: "..."

In any case, none of them knew what the truth was. Since it was all just guesswork, there was no point in getting too serious about it.

They should just focus on absorbing the Immortal Spiritual Qi.

————

Jiang Zuo waited outside, but Su Qi didn’t come out. He had wanted to go take a look at the notebook, but he had a feeling it would be extremely dangerous.

’Right,’ he thought. ’I should wait and go next time, when Su Qi doesn’t know.’

’My body can’t take it.’

’I’ll wait until I’ve recovered.’

But then again, Jiang Zuo felt that the most dangerous time was also the safest time.

’Right. I still want to take the risk.’

’After all, it’s exciting.’

But just as Jiang Zuo took a step to leave, Qing Yue came out.

As soon as she emerged, she walked right up to Jiang Zuo.

Seeing Qing Yue, Jiang Zuo had no choice but to ask, "Senior, is something the matter?"

Qing Yue said with a deadpan expression, "Jiu Xi wanted me to remind you: if you dare to look at that notebook, the moment you get there, so will she.

And you will bear the consequences."

Jiang Zuo: "..."

Speechless, Jiang Zuo bid her farewell and headed toward the sea.

Qing Yue watched him leave and couldn’t help but murmur, "He’s passable. At least he seems mature and steady."

Then she headed back inside.

She had to keep an eye on every single member of the Saintess Corps.

Holding the coin, Jiang Zuo found what he deemed a safe location, put on the Mist, and then left via Sword Control and Wind Riding.

Well, he was mainly heading to the location of the Celestial Star Descent.

He was bored and just wanted to go have a look.

When he arrived, he found that only Jian Shisan was there.

It seemed he was adjusting the position of the Celestial Star Meteorite and controlling its temperature.

That was right. The Celestial Star Meteorite’s temperature was absurdly high. If it wasn’t controlled, it could easily affect the Holy Land.

Perhaps that was why previous Celestial Star Descents had all occurred in the deep sea.

In any case, Jiang Zuo had never encountered one before.

Soon, Jiang Zuo appeared beside Jian Shisan.

"Are you interested in the Celestial Star Cave Mansion, young friend?" Jian Shisan asked.

He didn’t turn to look, but with his level of Cultivation, it was perfectly normal for him to have sensed Jiang Zuo’s arrival.

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "Not interested."

Jian Shisan said, "I was wondering if you might be willing to go inside? Jiu Xi won’t cause you any trouble over it."

Jiang Zuo looked at Jian Shisan and asked, "What do you want?"

Jian Shisan said, "The Celestial God Flower."

’Ordinary people had no idea the Celestial God Flower existed. Even if Jian Shisan knew of it, he wouldn’t know that there was one inside the Celestial Star Cave Mansion.’

’So, the Tofu Boss must have told him.’

Of course, Jiang Zuo didn’t care.

He just said, "I don’t want to go."

Jian Shisan wasn’t surprised by this answer. He continued, "As far as I know, the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique can be found inside, as well as its origin.

According to records, the master of the Celestial Star Cave Mansion was an outsider."

Jiang Zuo frowned.

’The master was an outsider?’

This so-called outsider was probably like Li Yue, someone who came from a world beyond that of the Human Race.

And the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion had also mentioned that the records of Celestial Favor didn’t seem to have been passed down by the Human Race.

’So, as an outsider, is it highly likely they knew more?’

The main point was that the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique was very similar to Su Qi’s condition. If he could learn the complete origin of the technique, he might be able to get a clue or two about Su Qi’s problem.

He couldn’t go to the Netherworld River yet, so the Celestial Star Cave Mansion was indeed the best choice.

Although the Celestial Star Cave Mansion was meant for High Tier cultivators, the dangers within were different from those of the Netherworld River. They were dangers he could completely nullify with his abilities.

’So, should I go in after all?’

Jiang Zuo asked, "When can the gate be opened?"

Jian Shisan said, "First thing tomorrow morning. I will have it completely cooled down by then, and the gate can be opened."

Jiang Zuo looked at the sky. It was already nighttime, which meant it would be opening soon.
